Maybe it might help to mention that I was talking about reducing the number of room preferring place cells that are active at the same time?

Earlier today I uploaded another update, which shows its "mind going blank" when the signal from the attract location is overpowered by being surrounded by too many locations signaling to avoid them. To see this happen: uncheck the "Center Barrier" checkbox and check the "Rotating Zone".

What I read in science papers suggests that there should not be 100% coverage of an area with the signal from any one type of place cell. It's something needing to be added to the model or else the software normally turns all avoid cells on at the same time, which is analogous to having a perfect photographic memory that can recall all the memories of what happened in a region of space with many places, in a single (fraction of a second) thought. It's possible that the model is now demonstrating what information overload looks like. In one way it has the memory recall of a superhuman genius, but too much information all at once is causing a problem in the network that maps and "sorts it out" into a useful response.

I just updated the preliminary again, same url. Controls should now be error free, or I hope so anyway.

IDLab5-Preliminary.zip

This time the program starts up with the invisible rotating shock zone turned on. Other than the occasional problem from all locations around the food/attractor becoming a place to avoid it's doing rather well. Passes the test of inherently getting out of the way then anxiously waiting behind the shock zone for the food to be in the clear. It's not something I could program in, it has to be a property of how the network propagates waves or will not happen.

Ironically one way to solve the problem without losing detail is to map in more than one grid size (resolution), as does a mammal brain. So it's possible that the navigation network already more or less does what it is supposed to do, even though it would still benefit from a more prioritized memory recall.

What I have right now is good enough to show that the idea works. Almost there!

Are you now claiming to be "modelling" mammals instead of bugs? I don't think so. This is yet another example of why you are not doing science.

Another question you will avoid; how many cells make up an insects "brain"?

It obviously depends on the insect's available virtual address space. A 32 bit bus fruit fly has up to 4G brain cells.

I can't believe how biology illiterate some of you are around here. Haven't you learned anything from future Nobel award GG Gaulin? smfh

Two sets of two-word phrases that never belong together -- 'exciting news' and 'Sal Cordova'.

Look, Gary, we already know that it is a badly stretched analogy to compare biological memory to RAM.
The further into the details one gets, the more the analogy breaks down.
But then again, this only the tip of the iceberg of ignorance and fatuous bloviating that makes up your pretense at an intellectual life.

One thing the ENCODE consortium drove home is that DNA acts like a Dynamic Random Access memory for methylation marks. That is to say, even though the DNA sequence isn’t changed, like computer RAM which isn’t physically removed, it’s electronic state can be modified.


At least Sal is staying current, in what's now going on in science.

False to fact.
As is the implication that you are likewise 'staying current'.
Unless you mean the flow of electricity you waste with your time on the web.

Note that it doesn't take 'current science' to refute your nonsense.  Studies done in the 1920's pretty thoroughly refute, on an evidential basis, any modeling of biological memory as a form of RAM.
These studies have not been meaningfully superseded; still less have they been refuted.  Evidence tends to be like that.

This conjecture seems wholly divorced from any known biological mechanisms. There is no analogue in biology for an operating system’s ability to access arbitrary sites in memory by address; all regulatory systems involving DNA ultimately depend on features of the DNA sequence itself. Quite a lot is known about many regulatory pathways, including developmental pathways, and none of them involve the kind of mechanism proposed here. Your suggestion appears to invoke an unknown process to explain nothing in particular.

Moreover, under this proposal, the specific sequence of repetitive DNA is critically important, since it only functions if it’s identical to other elements. But most repetitive DNA shows no signs of selective constraint, as would be the case if this were true.

I don’t see any justification for taking this idea seriously.
